  Presented by The Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City (BIAKS-GKC), the Memorial Day run is celebrating its 39th year. Formerly the Amy Thompson Run for Brain Injury, it is one of the oldest runs in the Kansas City area and attracts close to 1,000 runners and spectators of all ages each year. The course begins and ends in beautiful Loose Park in Kansas City and goes through some historic neighborhoods surrounding the park. All particpants receive a finishers medal and compete for age group and overall awards. Custom event shirts can be added to your registration for an additional $7.

  This run focuses on the successes and challenges of those affected by brain injury. It celebrates their courage and their families’ determination to move forward after a brain injury. Every 18.5 seconds a brain injury occurs in this country. It is the number one cause of death and disability in children and young adults. Over 21,000 individuals in Kansas and the Greater KC area were affected by a brain injury last year.

  Proceeds from the run help BIAKS-GKC (www.biaks.org) provide vital programming, including referral services, prevention programming, support and education for survivors, loved ones and brain injury professionals.

  Get ready to rock the most patriotic gear you've got because this 4th of July, we're throwing the ultimate party on the pavement – Four on the 4th! Lace up those running shoes or take a leisurely stroll for 4 glorious miles along the iconic Ward Parkway, all while soaking in the spirit of Independence Day.

  Sporting the classic red, white, and blue is not just an option; it's practically a requirement! Picture yourself crossing that finish line with the wind in your hair, clad in a shirt that screams "I love America," and a finisher medal so bold and charming, it's practically the embodiment of the American dream itself.

  Don't let FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) get the best of you – grab your spot at Uncle Sam's favorite race and make this 4th of July unforgettable. Because when it comes to celebrating freedom, nothing beats Four on the 4th!

  Join us at historic Elmwood Cemetery for the 8th Annual Graveyard 5K on Saturday, October 25th!

  This one-of-a-kind run winds entirely through the beautiful grounds of Elmwood Cemetery—home to some of Kansas City’s most notable figures—and supports vital preservation and maintenance efforts.

  Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to announce a 1-mile fun run for all ages and age group winners! We will also have fun activities to enjoy post-race.

  Some fun facts about Elmwood Cemetery include:

  🎃 Keep an eye out for the headstone of Americus McKim, the owner of KC's first professional baseball team, The Kansas City Unions. Without him, we wouldn't be able to cheer on the Royals today!

  🎃 Kirkland Brooks Armour, the founding member of Armour and Company Meat Packing, is buried in the Armour Family plot in Elmwood. Armour Boulevard is named after Kirkland and his family.

  🎃 The Elmwood Cemetery is the second oldest cemetery in Kansas City.

  🎃 It's also the final resting place of 766 soldiers who fought in the Civil War on both sides.

  This year's Brew to Boo is going to be a slight adjustment compared to previous years. Rather than running nearly a marathon from South Kansas City to North Kansas City, we're going to stay near the Kansas City Downtown and there will be two participation options as well!

  The first option is a Pub Crawl in the Crossroads. We'll start at Torn Label and make our way west from brewery to brewery until we end up at Casual Animal. By utilizing this format, my hope is to keep a good size group together and make it much easier for people to join up later in the day if need be.

  The second option is the actual running portion of Brew to Boo. While the Pub Crawl is happening, runners will shoot off to another brewery outside of the Crossroads, grab a drink, and run back. There are 5 legs to this including Boulevard, Strange Days, Alma Mader, Stockyard, and Vine Street. Total miles on this is about 16.5 miles so, while I'm encouraging team relays, an individual could complete the entire Brew to Boo on their own.

  The Fox Trot 5K Run is a fundraising event to benefit Académie Lafayette International High School's travel abroad programs. ALIHS believes firmly in the value of global intercultural learning experiences and is committed to equity in education. Cost of travel is the greatest inhibiting factor for public schools in providing such invaluable outside-the-classroom life experiences for all students, regardless of individual family means. All proceeds of the event will go directly to individual student financial need.
